4.2.6.2 Mounting the casters
NOTICE
Replace used wheel bolt
If a wheel bolt is removed for tire service, replace it with a new, unused bolt
from Permobil and tighten it to the recommended torque. Also, inspect the
drive axle and wheel rim for any damage. Damage to either part can cause
the wheel bolt to loosen or fracture. Because the TUF-LOK thread lock fluid
wears off, Permobil recommends that wheel bolts only be used once.
1. Check that the axle and rim are not damaged. If necessary, clean to
remove dirt and rust. Replace damaged parts.
2. Fit the wheel on the axle using just your hands. Check that the
wheel is fully located on the axle.
3. Fit the washer (2) on to the screw (3).
4. Fit the screw (3) and washer (2) on to the axle. Tighten the screw
with a torque wrench. Tightening torque: 24 lb·ft.
5. Fit the hubcap (4).
4.2.6.3 Disassembling the rim

• Allen key 5 mm
The rim can be taken apart to make it possible to fit/remove solid tires.
1. Remove the wheel in question from the wheelchair.
2. Remove the three screws holding the two halves of the rim
together.
3. Take the rim apart.
4.2.6.4 Assembling the rim
